Story
Hello, I'm Nessa. I'm the quiet type, preferring a cozy corner to a bustling park. I'm smart, too. I've figured out the routines around here, knowing when it's time for meals and walks. I may be shy, but give me a little time and I'll warm up to you. I'm not one for loud noises or sudden movements. I like peace and calm, and I bring that with me wherever I go. I'm mellow, not the sort to get worked up over squirrels or the mailman. I'd love a home where I can just be me, in all my introverted glory. Why should you adopt me? Because every home needs a quiet, calming presence. That's me. I'll be your steady companion, your silent confidante, your peaceful sanctuary in a world that's often too loud and too fast. Adopt me, and let's enjoy the quiet together.

Story
West went for a field trip and this is what the volunteer had to say: West is perfect gentleman, I had never taken West out before so wasn't sure what to expect. He was calm, cool, and collected! The park was busy many of the fields were full of kids playing t-ball with lots of children and parents walking around. West seemed to enjoy the hustle and bustle and wasn't phased one bit. He also did not react when other dogs were nearby. He listened and definitely knows how to charm you. West stayed by my side the entire time and would sit calmly when I offered him a treat. He also loved the car ride and quickly laid down on the back seat for the trip. He would be a joy for any family.
